Competitiveness is defined as the ability of companies to compete while maintaining or improving the average standard of living. If you are cutting wages to become more competitive, that's not really more competitive. It's raising the skill and the efficiency of those workers so that they can support and sustain that higher wage.

竞争力是指公司在保持或提高平均水平的同时进行竞争的能力。为了提高竞争力去削减工资,并不是真正的竞争力提升。它只是提高了这些工人的技能和效率,因为这样他们才能维持之前的工资水平。

If your goal is anything but profitability - if it's to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader - you'll hit problems.

如果你的目标不是盈利——而是要做大,获得快速增长,或者成为科技行业的领军者——你将会面临很多问题。
